Defense Center is a rogue anti-spyware, typical clone of many other malwares – Protection Center,Data Protection, Digital Protection, Your Protection, User Protection and Dr.Guard.
Just like its initials, Defense Center spreads itself through Trojans viruses that infiltrate one’s machine via fake video codecs required for watching videos online. Users are mostly convinced that they need to install updates into their system for watching something online, however, only Trojans are let inside. So, just after noticing something unusual, scan your PC and delete Defense Center immediately.
When trial version of this rogueware is installed, fake alerts and system tray notifications reach PC users. Defense Center poses to scan the system for malware and then claims nothing else but tons of viruses detected.
These multiple security issues and infections alerted automatically create the need to get rid of them. Defense Center offers to purchase its licensed version then as the only possible way to do this and users are simply ripped off. Keep in mind that the main reason why Defense Center was created is stealing your money, so don’t follow this malicious plan and do not purchase Defense Center.
In fact, all alerts and scanners of Defense Center are totally fake and report invented infections. Just like its famous predecessor Digital Center, Defense Center uses scare techniques to make you purchase its useless licensed version. Do not believe the misleading pop-ups triggered by it and instead of purchasing remove Defense Center. Scan with a reputable anti-spyware to find all its malicious files.

Although it is possible to manually remove fake Defense Center, such activity can permanently damage your system if any mistakes are made in the process, as advanced spyware parasites are able to automatically repair themselves if not completely removed. Thus, manual spyware removal is recommended for experienced users only, such as IT specialists or highly qualified system administrators. For other users, we recommend malware and spyware removal applications.
After removing all these files, restart your computer and the issue will be fixed. And don’t forget to do update your Security Software, check the Firewall Settings and the Operating System and finally do a full system scan with the Security Software.
